Chapter 21: Blockbuster Films...

Shen Xudong was interviewed by Southern Weekly...

"Southern Weekly" is a very important media at this stage, especially the entertainment version - the Four Great Flowers and the Chinese Film Media Awards, all of which are led by the southern media.

They made an appointment for an interview with Shen Xudong, and the latter certainly agreed.

The first topic was the 'Hanbaek Controversy'...

"What do you think of the Han-Bai dispute?"

"In the past, literature was actually a channel for class crossing, you could write something, you could publish an article in national, provincial and even municipal newspapers and magazines, and immediately a sparrow would become a phoenix... Even work can be transferred! But later, the literary world began to be institutionalized, and with the Writers' Association, there was a so-called literary circle... It's different! ”

"What's the difference?"

"You have to get in the circle first and be their own... Join the literary world, join the writers' association, and then become an authority! What I am most disgusted with is a group of so-called literary authorities, trapped in a strange circle of boasting and entertaining themselves, and in the end, they have to pretend to be sad and sigh: Now young people don't read literature anymore, and one generation is not as good as the next! In fact, serious literature has long been turned into a monopoly game by people who pretend to be serious. ”

After a pause, Shen Xudong added: "Every time there is a poem on the market that we can't understand, there are always some traditional and mainstream elders who stand up and put a lot of sour words around in the end, and the conclusion is: There is nothing wrong with the work, but the masses can't understand it." I really wonder, everyone has received compulsory education, and Li Bai Du Mu Du Fu's poems can understand the artistic conception, I don't believe that your poems can still be better than Li Bai Du Fu? ”

"In this Han-Bai dispute, it can also be seen that they are born nepotism, and their interests are naturally linked to each other, and they are deeply bound."

"Then why don't you say it?"

"It doesn't make sense, in the Internet era, the threshold of so-called literature has been lowered infinitely, and without their recognition, my book will not sell well?"

"Then why are you helping Han Han speak?"

“… From beginning to end, I said my own point of view, but Han Han and I have the same point of view, how can I help him? I don't even know him! ”

How did the Han-Bai dispute end?

It's very nonsensical, the two sides strike and declare the end of the war...

Bai Ye is corrupt or not, I don't know, there is no follow-up...

That's it for the topic, and we talked about movies.

""Detective of the Republic of China", what I am most satisfied with is not the box office, but the praise of the audience... This proves that I have been right all along. ”

"What's the point of view?"

"The so-called star box office appeal is all fake, before forming a personal brand, whether the movie sells or not depends on the movie itself, not a certain star... At this stage, there is appeal, and the brands recognized by the audience are Zhou Xingchi, Jackie Chan, Feng Xiaogang... My view all along, there is no need to spend a lot of money to find any Hong Kong and Taiwan stars!"

“… What about yourself? ”

"I don't count, the popularity of "Detective of the Republic of China" is mainly publicity + the movie itself..."

"I heard that "Detective of the Republic of China" was originally a TV movie?"

"Yes, the movie channel wanted to ask us to make a series, I proposed to do the detective genre, the background is in the Republic of China, it just so happened that I talked to Zhang Muye about a lot of stories in Tianjin at that time, there is a floating corpse in the Haihe River, I wrote a version of the script..."

About "Detective of the Republic of China", the interview lasted more than half an hour...

The questions are basically some nonsense, and Shen Xudong has already answered countless times when he ran the roadshow.

Then, Southern Weekly asked about "Carol"...

“… It's an award-winning movie, and Hitman Films has developed a complete strategy for winning awards, debuting at Cannes, and then participating in a bunch of film festivals, and releasing in December..."

"It's not to follow the trend, Todd Hines, the director of "Carol", has always insisted on making queer movies, but none of them have reached the influence of "Brokeback Mountain"..."

"Of course, I hope to win the award, but whether I can win the award depends on the taste of the judges."

"Yes, look at Wang Jiawei's taste!"

……

This interview is a summary, summarizing the period of "Detective of the Republic of China" and the dispute between Han and Bai...

At the end of the interview, Shen Xudong took a look at his itinerary...

Finally gone!

The company is a bit excessive, and he is simply regarded as a worker, and when he returns to BJ, he will be interviewed in various ways...

Hardly a good rest.

For the next few days, he was going to stay at home and not go anywhere!

Then, a few phone calls came, and they were all dinners... There are also those who want to be interviewed in detail...

Shen Xudong basically pushed it.

"Detective of the Republic of China" is a project cooperated by the company and the movie channel, and this cake is not big...

Naturally, it is unlikely to be separated...

If you don't eat or not, it doesn't matter.

Including some in-circle gatherings or something, he doesn't want to participate in it...

I'm just so tired!

He is idle, and the propaganda work of "Detective of the Republic of China" has basically come to an end...

There's a lot to talk about him!

Especially after the publication of this issue of "Southern Weekly", his own judgment on the box office appeal of stars and 'There is no need to find Hong Kong and Taiwan actors, if the market center of the film is in China, in terms of nationality, our actors are more national!' 'There was a lot of discussion online...

Industry... In fact, there are also many actors who like it, especially the actors.

At this stage, co-productions belong to mainstream films, and mainland actors, especially actors, can only play supporting roles in co-productions, even if they are already at the level of actors-a typical Liu Ye, there are so many roles in "Wuji", why does Liu Ye play that kind of unlikable ghost wolf?

In terms of appearance and acting skills, Liu Ye completely beat Xie Tingfeng - the latter is only 1.7 meters...

Shen Xudong's words went to their hearts.

But... It's useless, because so far only one "Detective of the Republic of China" has been a box office hit, and it has not formed a scale.

Even..."Detective of the Republic of China" belongs to the genre that does not enter the mainstream in the eyes of many people - at this stage, how to prove that you are a mainstream filmmaker?

Blockbuster!

Only when you plan, produce, and distribute a blockbuster movie are you truly awesome.

……

“… Sister, we're just an artistic exchange, not a life-and-death fight, look at my back! ”

Shen Xudong came out of the bathroom a little aggrieved, pointed to his back, and was caught with a lot of blood...

Chen Hao was a little embarrassed...

She's so excited, so excited, she likes to catch everywhere.

“… Next time I'll cut my nails a little..."

"Well, let's have something to eat!"

Shen Xudong dialed the phone number.

He came to visit...

To be precise, Chen Hao called him to come over to visit the class, and Chen Hao was filming "The Legend of Ruyu"...

Chen Hao diverted the topic: "Eh, how much can we earn this time?" ”

Shen Xudong pondered for a moment, and then said: "Chen Xi tell me about the approximate data, it should not be less than 16 million..."

“… So I'm 1.6 million? ”

"You are 10% of the total investment amount, not less than 3 million..."

Chen Hao nodded with satisfaction: "... Quite a lot..."

"That's because you have the courage..."
